I want to tell you that your beautiful,
inside and out.
but I think lately I've come to the realization,
that the only beauty I care about,
comes from within.

Now my voice may not be the loudest,
and I really hope that it is not drowned out,
because I want to tell you that
being judged for something you are born with
is a disadvantage for us at all

Also, please stop telling me that "I know beauty doesn't matter.".
Because, if it didn't matter then why to advertisers make millions every year selling women makeup.
Why does society try to sell me this illusion of the perfect woman?

If our country focused less on our apperance then there would be a lot less self-hatred
and much higher self-esteem
and so much less eating disorders

So I want to start a resolution,
no more telling someone their beautiful,
just based on appearance.
If I want to tell someone they are beautiful,
only it's because I know that their actions,
and decisions, and personality,
are really truly beautiful.
So I wanted to start with you.

Take me to the sea,
Oh take me to the sea,
Bring me back to the place where someone loved me.

Under the sand dunes where a path once lay,
Stands an old willow tree,
Abandoned and astray.

Under the willow lies
A thicket of leaves so deep,
That when the wind cries,
Is when ghosts begin to speak.

When the ghosts speak is when I see you,
No longer weak and crippled, but strong and new.
I wish you never left me so broken and alone,
I wish I said goodbye to the greatest love I’ve known.

The ashes of you is all that you left,
to spread along the dunes of where we first met.
I love you today, I’ll love you forever too,
I will wait for the day the sea to takes me to you.

Bury me in the sea,
Oh bury me in the sea,
Bury me in the place where someone loved me.

— The End —
